Hi everyone,
I know there are strong opinions already on this and I'm sure a number of folks have already tested for themselves. However, I am interested in gathering data on this  so I put up a little test package and survey form on-line about a month back:

If you've never tried or out of the goodness of your heart willing to spend a few minutes to "lend me your ear" and gear, please give this a shot!
 
Remember, you need to make sure your gear is capable of hi-res decoding. Also, please refrain from pulling out the audio editor to "measure" the files! It's supposed to be a pure listening test of bitdepth... Also please try not to discuss your results here! Don't want any bias to affect others...
 
Thanks.
